Why choose this tour ?

Discover the magic of Rio Lagartos, a picturesque fishing village nestled on the northern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula—just under three hours from Tulum.

This hidden gem is part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve encompassing over 150,000 acres of wetlands, mangroves, and jungle, home to more than 280 species of aquatic and migratory birds.

One of its most iconic residents is the vibrant American Flamingo, which can be seen year-round in their natural habitat, making for an unforgettable sight.

But the birdlife here goes far beyond flamingos—Rio Lagartos is a birdwatcher’s paradise.

Spot endemic treasures like the Yucatán Nightjar and Yucatán Wren, and keep your eyes peeled for rarities like the Mexican Sheartail hummingbird, Lesser Roadrunner, Bare-throated Tiger Heron, and Pygmy Kingfisher.

With its rich biodiversity, serene landscapes, and authentic local charm, Rio Lagartos offers a truly immersive birding experience you won’t want to miss.
